Is that branded ? By Valentino ?

Hell no, that would be really strange )

By chance will the Chord Mojo leather case receive a lower price as well?

As advised here, I received 2nd Mojo for my wife's Christmas present...
 
yeah, she is listening to it now.  Her birthday is this week and I just couldn't keep it hidden.

You should have waited till her birthday and just swap birthday and Christmas present... Now when you give her the birthday present as well, you will most likely cave and buy her another 'small thing' for Christmas...

Hm or is this thinking the reason I'm single?

What continues to impress me most about the Mojo is its ability to bring the most out of fairly modest headphones or maybe just bring out there hidden potential

I've already said I love it with the HD25 but I can be wearing a pair of small comfortable lightweight on ear headphones like the Sony MDR10RC (EDIT just needed to add £35!) I'm currently listening to. Playing large scale full orchestral classical music I could swear I am listening to full size open phones.

The soundstage. Instrumental placement and the sense of space but with infinitely better comfort.

Should add the Mojo is some sort of 'leveller'

It smooths out the sound of brighter headphones (DT990,MF100 for Example) and injects a little more life into warmer ones (the Sonys mentioned above and my Focals) so much so that their differences are narrowed.

Improves most headphones but the biggest improvements are with the cheaper smaller phones.
AlL in my very humble opinion :-S

Only the DT150 disappointed for some reason. Oh...my single armature EB50 earphones sound a terrible muddy mess for some reason only through Mojo. Strange

I agree...my opinion of the Grado SR325e has been uplifted greatly
since listening through Mojo - the difference between the 325e and the 
GS1000i is much less than before, when I was using a lesser dac (ALO the Island)
or straight through iPhone 6s.
 
 
Yes, (like any top sq dac/amp should) Mojo brings out the potential of many - perhaps most - headphones.
 
Having said this, I feel Mojo is overkill for a hp like the Grado SR80e.

Don't own a Grado now but does the Mojo similarly bring the SR80e closer to the 325?

I have considered getting another Grado but the 325 a bit more than I can spend around the moment (all my spare money went on Mojo)

Hi everyone ! Another alternative case for Mojo DAP, looks really awesome and ergonomic

We are all different. That looks ugly to me. The official case is hard to beat IMHO.

The Mojo will give you about the best sound that the SR80e has to give.....
however the 325e IMHO is a big step up - esp in the bass reach, definition and weight,
but also giving a more refined and detailed sound, with better soundstage, layering and imaging.
 
Still, if the 80e is your maximum amount....the Mojo will do it justice. 
However you may get upgrade-iris and later want a better hp; if the 325e has
the signature that agrees it's a better long term bet for musical satisfaction.
Some find the high end of the 325e's too sharp...I can understand that esp. if you listen at louder levels....
I listen at pretty low volumes where the qualities of the 325e really benefit. So
be sure to audition whenever buying any audio equipment...one man's meat is another's poison.
 
I also think that the 325e is likely the most economical Grado to really reveal the sq of a dac/amp such as Mojo.
 
BTW I bought my last two Grado's used...good way to get the best 
value (from a reliable seller of course).

I bought a Mojo and the case from Amazon.co.uk at the same time.  Because of the exchange rate, the case was cheaper (in USD) than the price from a US vendor.  The shipping was inexpensive, and I ordered on Sunday and the case came on Tuesday.  The Mojo came on Wednesday, but not a bad turn around time!

Thanks! I will have to look into that.

This knock off from http://www.ebay.com/itm/182099548730?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT is working perfect with IOS 10.1 and Mojo I guess going to return my MD821AM/A

I hope this helps:  here is the breakdown:

Order was placed on 10/16.  I paid $83.77 (including shipping) for the case, and $435.69 (including shipping) for the Mojo.  They were sent in 2 separate packages, hence maybe slightly higher shipping charges?  I feel a little bad about taking advantage of the pounds' currency deflation......... on the other hand, maybe it is karmic balance from when I was married to a Brit and had to take his relatives to the outlet mall every time they visited. 

  Every.  Single.  Visit.
